The audiovisual world is one of technology, artistry, communication, and engineering. In the multimedia field, the best projects combine all these parts coherently. That's why when I founded Digital Media Design in 2004, I knew it couldn't be just another A/V consulting company. DMD does more than designing and consulting: we assist on video productions, provide technical support, perform training, and manage entire projects. Not only has our reputation earned us Fortune 500 clientele, but we have a strong rapport with local businesses. Our projects range from $10,000 to $10,000,000. That's because DMD gets things done with cohesion and a personal finesse that you can rely on. Take a look through our core competencies below and see how Digital Media Design can help your next project come to life with the unified vision you imagine.
-James Chalifoux, Principal
We design turnkey audiovisual and broadcast production facilities. We begin with conceptual drawings that include equipment layouts and signal flow. Once these drawings are approved, we develop construction documents detailing any structural requirements, power requirements, conduit risers, floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, and elevations. In addition, we develop a set of signal drawings that include single line CAD diagrams for video, audio, control, and network.

Wild Horse Pass Casino
Designed a fiber-optic based routing system for over two-hundred large screen displays throughout the casino. The system included routing and control of twenty different DTV receivers and digital signage content in both portrait and landscape modes on a point-by-point basis. The system consisted of one 128x128 fiber matrix switcher and one 32x32 fiber matrix switcher. Color touchscreen control is available from several locations throughout the casino.
A thoroughly engineered system provided by an AV Consultant with detailed CAD drawings, bid specifications and submittal requirements will save money, time and headaches. Tightly written specifications composed by an independent AV Consultant allows a level competitive bidding process by multiple qualified systems integrators. The client attains value and performance with their system.
The functional requirements of any audiovisual system is built around the user's needs. Digital Media Design conducts a needs analysis with your team to examine the applications, tasks, and functions required for the new project. Our consulting includes budget plannning, space planning, and cost of ownership. Our specifications are written in the CSI format. We work side-by-side with your contractors to ensure the initial construction drawings are accurate and if necessary, provide any additional documentation required. We also review the construction project timeline and include necessary AV milestones to the schedule in order to coordinate the AV integration with the rest of the construction project.

Thunderbird Global Mindset Institute
Remodeled building consisting of two auditoriums, a distance learning classroom, several breakout rooms, experiential learning classrooms, and a full video production studio with greenscreen.
By combining successful techniques from previous projects with emerging technologies in the industry, we ensure that your system is both reliable and cutting-edge. By leveraging knowledge of proven methods, close relationships with manufacturers, and keeping up-to-date on new equipment we provide results that are flexible, long-lasting and easy to use.
Digital Media Design acts as your representative during the integration process by working alongside the AV contractors and others to ensure the project is completed on time and within the budget. We conduct a kickoff meeting with the AV contractor and begin the phase one submittal process. Before any equipment is ordered, we review the list with the contractor. As the facility is pre-wired, we monitor progress and construction practices of the contractor. Upon substantial completion, we create a final punchlist and ensure all items are brought to closure. After final submittals, we perform testing and alignment, then authorize final acceptance.

Edward Jones Headquarters Production Studio
Worked in conjunction with EAR Professional Audio Video to provide installation documentation and supervision of Sachs Electric, Edward Jones' low voltage contractor. Weekly site visits were made to monitor progress and advise the contractor on any installation details.
Let us do the heavy lifting during the integration process by working closely with the AV integrator, the architect, and the general contractor. We attend regular construction meetings, respond to any RFIs, and monitor progress to keep in line with the project schedule.
Let Digital Media Design be your unified source for maintenance and technical support. We provide regular maintenance visits as well as 24x7 phone support. On-site maintenance includes cleaning equipment, regular calibration and alignment, updating firmware and verifying signal integrity throughout the infrastructure. If there is an equipment failure that we cannot resolve on-site, we will remove the piece of equipment, coordinate a repair ticket with the manufacturer then reinstall and test the repaired equipment upon return.

JVMI Studios
We conduct scheduled maintenance on the switcher, cameras, audio, routing, servers, lighting, and displays. We also act as engineer-in-charge for live studio productions, including camera shading and technical setup.
We understand the frustration of waiting on tech support for hours, just to be told you need to call someone else. Complex systems rely on many manufacturers’ components to work properly together. Digital Media Design understands your entire ecosystem, we eliminate the variables prior to contacting multiple manufacturers.
Whether in the studio or out in the field, Digital Media Design can assist your production needs. Our skillset includes directing, technical directing, audio, replay, camera operation or shading & engineering. We help set up productions, balance the cameras, test audio, and confirm quality live streams or recordings. We can help cover Live events with I-MAG and webcasting, collaborative web conferencing with multiple far end participants or in studio production for syndicated television programs.

Thunderbird Global Broadcast Center
Digital Media Design runs the global broadcast center at Thunderbird School of Global Management. Duties include recording online classes, directing/switching webinars and webcasts, directing collaborative web conferences, maintaining the studios and creating virtual sets for marketing videos and webinars.
Being involved in video production gives us a leg up on designing and maintaining production systems. Placement of monitors, control surfaces and logical routing/patching all contribute to a great finished product. Keeping a cool head during production comes with experience and confidence of knowing how to operate, interconnect and troubleshoot a production system. Once the technical aspects are in line for a production, allow us to be part of the crew.
We provide several tiers of training for our clients. We train end-users and technical staff in the complete operation, maintenance and trouble-shooting of their system. Regardless of who designed or installed your facility we can help teach you and your staff how operate or maintain classroom av systems, video or web conferencing tools, or video production equipment. We take pride in communicating highly technical concepts into layman’s terms.

Las Vegas Review Journal
In conjunction with EAR Professional Audio Video, DMD provided the CAD drawings, installation and training of the LVRJ’s online studio. Training included operating the Tricaster video switcher, Panasonic PTZ cameras, RTS IFB and communications, the Allen & Heath audio board and the ETC lighting control.
We are not aligned with any manufacturer or systems integrator - therefore unbiased design decisions and equipment recommendations are completely in the client’s interests.
